Diane's story

Diane* contacted us after the local authority sought possession of her home, which would leave her homeless. The local authority sought possession of Diane’s house on the grounds of her having a non-secure tenancy, and because she had not initially responded to an eviction notice.

Our housing team helped Diane by getting her case adjourned in order for us to help her submit a proper defense, including expert evidence regarding her disability. Diane has multiple complex needs and medical disabilities.

The court held a hearing. Our housing team helped Diane compel the local authority to provide her with temporary accommodation while the proceedings took place. The case succeeded and she was rehoused by the local authority with a new tenancy in a home which would meet the needs of her disabilities.
